What to expect from the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC
As featured on Polygon’s Shadow of Erdtree preview and first impressions, the DLC is essentially “more Ring of Fire” For the most part, this means: sweeping dungeons, relentless enemies, and a huge sense of discovery.
First of all, according to our announcement, the expansion is much more arduous than the basic version of the game. The set includes novel types of collectibles (including power-ups called Scadutree Fragments). Narratively, Shadow of Erdtree focuses on Miquella, who you may know as Maleni’s brother, which is one of the most renowned boss fights from the base game.
